Summary

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the top 10 mistakes that the first Harry Potter film made that the new HBO Max SHOW can FIX.-

When The Philosopher's Stone movie came out in 2001, Harry Potter fans all over the world flocked to theatres to see their favourite boy wizard brought to life. And while the film truly was magical in its day, it made a fair amount of mistakes when compared to the novel.

With so much detail to cram into a two-and-a-half-hour movie, it's completely understandable that certain aspects of the book were unable to make it into the film version of The Philosopher's Stone. But in addition to some of these omissions, there were also just other, well, MISTAKES.

Today, I'll be taking you through 10 of the most obvious mistakes from the first Harry Potter film, which I believe the new reboot of the series can FIX.

0:53.0	you through ten of the most obvious mistakes from the first Harry Potter
0:56.4	film, which I believe the new reboot of the series can fix.
1:01.0	One, Harry's eye colour.
1:02.8	Harry is described in the philosopher's stone as having his mother's bright green eyes, a
